Application filed December 15, 1911. Serial No. 665,933.

1 '0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES K. 01.13am, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Mountings, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in sash mountings, and more particularly to an improved construction of metal sash and frame or casement which enables both the upper and lower sashes to be swung inward, hinged at either edge, so as to permit both sides of the glass to be washed from the inside of the room, and also to permit the sashes to be swung inwardly for purposes of ventilation.

A further olaiectis to provide an improved constr H1 of knockdown metal frame or casement having improved means for holding the same in rectangular form as the wall is built, and anchoring the weight boxes in the wall as well as securing them to the sill.

A further object is to provide improved guides for the sashes, said guides partly icurved in cross sect-ion and partly straight, and adapted to be turned so as to present either the curved orthe straight face to the sash, so as to enable the sash to be removed or securely hold the same, allowing the sash its normal sliding movement.

A further object is to provide a sash of this character with improved hinge mounting which enables the sash to be swung inward with either edge free so as to allow the sash to be swung in either direction into the room for purposes of cleaning the sash or for ventilation.

A further object is to provide an improved construction of frame which enables the trim to be secured to blocks of fireproofwood or other material carried by the weight. boxes, and permitted a certain amount of adjustment so as to properly position the trim.

A further objectis to provide an improved construction of this character which enables an inspection of the weights, and a connection of the flexible connecting device with the weights by the removal simply of a portion of the sash .,.lid6. This also enables the weights e removed and Sorted through these openings.

A iurther object in my invention is the recessing of the weight boxes into the masonry as shown, thereby gaining considerably more light opening than with the constructions in general to-day, by keeping the weight boxes inside of the masonry is the opening in the wall.

With these and otherobjects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is a perspective view illustrating my imrovements, showing the lower sash swung inwardly. Fig. 2, is a view in elevation showing the sash innormal closed position. Fig. 3, is a view in vertical section on the .line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig, 4., is a view in section on the line 4-4 of Fig.3. Fig. 5, is a broken view on an enlarged scale in horizontal section showing the sashes beside each other. Fig. 6, is a fragmentary view partly in longitudinal section and partly in elevation illustrating the manner ofsecuring the trim to the weight box. Fig. 7 illustrates in front and side elevation one of the hinges on the lower sash. Fig. 8, is a view in longitudinal section on an enlarged scale illustrating the mounting for the lower end of one of the sash guides. Fig. 9, is a detail perspective view of the block 30. Fig. 10, is a broken view in vertical. section illustrating the hinge mounting for the upper sash.

Fig. 11, is a view partly in elevation and partly broken away illustrating the mountlng shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 12, is a view similar to Fig. 10, showing the upper sash supported in its hinged mounting. Fig. 13,

is a detail perspective view of the arm 49.

Fig. 14, is a detail perspective view of the arm- 53. Fig. 15, is a broken perspective view illustrating the manner of holding the weight boxes in parallelism and at right angles to the sill, while the wall is being constructed, and Fig. 16, is a view similar to Fig, 5 showing the upper and lower sashes swung inwardly.

The arms hove relatively stron shoulders all? which prevent any hinging of the arms greater e right angle so as to support the sash, and. they have a. friction bearing 46 which prevents accidental pivotal movement of the arms. th stiles of he lower sash. are provided w h this hinge mounting, so that the lower sash may he swung in either direction when permitted by th movement of he sash The upper sash has hinged at both sides as shown in detail in Figs. 14- inclusive.

Ellie inwardly projecting portion of the meeting rail of the upper sash, adjacent its ends, is provided ith openings or bearings l? which are 'adaptedto receive hinge. pins on pivoted armed-Q. These arms 49 are pivotslly secured in the parting rails, and when in normal position lie in pockets 50 provided fortheir reception, so that they lie flush with the parting rail, and do not interfere with the movement of the sash.

35 On the upper sash, near its upper end. brackets 51 are secured and have plus 52 thereon which are adapted to project into in pivoted arms 53 secured to the strip and normally located in provided for their reception, so as to lie iiush with the parting strip. These arms 53 and i9 located in the lower portion of the trans, so tha when it is desired to swin the upper sash outwardly, it must lowe 3d, and as seen most clearly in Fig. 16, both the lower and the upper sash may be swung into the room at the same time, and both sides of both sashes may be washed from inside the room without the necessity of climbing on the outside of the building lin 'ing on the outside of the window.

e illustrated the lower sash provided an ordinary bar lift 55. which has a bracket secured thereto in which a thumb mounted, and has a friction disk lmver end adapted to engage the .i l hold the lower sash at any thus permitting the lower fl and hold, such as an ordiwindow. The sashes. while to slide vorticully on he sash they such sash holders snug to exclude the air and rensashes tight, and said sash are balanced by the -::rdinary sash weights 19, so as to slide up and down and remain at any po- "lon to which they are moved. To faciliate the turning movement of the lower soclons oi the sash guide, l illustrate a simple expedient which con sts in providing a cir- .r series of openi. s 59 to receive a wire Iltlll. or other suitubledevicc which allows the said guides to be readily turned either to l: 'u' curved the flat faces of said ire wer bearing the blocks 3-0 are provided with a circular series of notches 60 to receive a nail to turn them when it is desired to remove the lower sections of said guides.

The operation is as follows: To hinge the lower sash, it is necessary to raise the same until the arms 42 are above the pins all, when said arms 42 are swung outward at right angles to the sash, and the sash lowered so that the pins 44- will project through the openlugs 43. The sash cord or chain 33 at the edge of the window to be swung inwardly is disconnected from the hook 37 on the sash, and caught over the hook 40. Before this operation, however, the lower section of the strip 42 is turned to bring its flat side out ward, thus moving the curved side of said strip out of the groove in the sash, so that this edge of the sash is free to swing, and it may be locked at any angle by means of the thumb screw 57, or it may be swung far into the room to enable the sash to be washed on both sides. To swing the lower sash inwardly, it is lowered and is connected to the arms and 49 as above set forth, and as clearly shown in 3:0, 11, and 12, and its guide 22 is turned to allow it to swing in wardly. If it is desired to get at the weights, it is simply necessary to turn the block 30 until its flat side is outward, when the lower trunnion of the sash guide may be drawn out of the recess 29, and then he upper trunnion drawn out of the bearing 28. This removal of the sash guide exposes the opening 32 through which the hand may be projected to manipulate the weight, or the flexible connecting device secured thereto. These blocks 30 are normally held by means of their screws 31, which must be removed to allow the blocks to be turred and replaced to hold the blocks.

The sashes are provided with hinge couplings at both sides, so that they may be swing in either direction, but of course, they may be provided with these hinge couplings at one side only if desired, and the other "features of construction might be varied in accordance with the desires of the trade. For example, I do not. limit myself to the particular manner of mounting the pulleys, nor to any of the other structural details which may be varied to suit conditions and for purposes of ornamentation.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do. not limit myself to the precise details set .forth, but consider myself at liberty ,to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. f

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: i
